THE SKINNY Shuffling and rearranging. Finding different roles and understanding player strengths. Heading into a new season, Beeler is throwing in some changes, hoping the Lady Red’Dogs will respond to certain tweaks. Rosacela Razo, Springdale’s leading goal-scorer last season, is now at centerback. Razo, Navarro, Paez and Downum – who scored the game-winner at Greenwood earlier this season – are the leaders for Springdale, who won only one game at home last season versus four on the road and at neutral sites. Beeler, after nonconference matches, believes he will know what path the Lady Red’Dogs will take in conference play.
